MARK Makes Nighttime Reading Easier Than Ever

One of my favorite things to do before going to sleep is read a book. I’ve found that I generally sleep better after about 20 minutes or so of reading. Unfortunately, my wife doesn’t take kindly to the bedside lamp staying on while she’s trying to sleep. That’s why I love this MARK bookmark, which promises to make the pages of a book readable without the need for an excess of light.

The MARK creates a unique glowing effect over the page of a book by combining a small sheet of plastic and embedded FOLEDs. These tiny lights use hardly any power, and their brightness can be easily adjusted. The only downside to this product is that it is still a concept design. I can only hope that something similar to this is actually released sometime in the near future.
